Debate harmful effects of Balloon releasing.
Plastic in the seas is becoming more widely known. Releasing balloons is harmful to the environment, affecting land animals, sea mammals, creatures and is eventually ingested by fish. Research has found it is consumed by humans and pets via micro-plastics. Beaches are littered with enough rubbish.
This is taken from www.onegreenplanet.org ;
A multitude of ascending colorful balloons against the backdrop of a bright blue sky may be a brilliant sight to behold, but, as the saying goes, “what goes up must come down” – and when balloons do, the consequences are deadly for wildlife.
Although there is generally good intent behind the practice of releasing balloons such as memorializing an event, showing remembrance...[] that once released, balloons become nothing more than floating litter.
